Owning Your Sexual Self

235. Exploring Non-Sexual Intimacy

Rachel Maine

Hello everyone! This week’s episode is such a good one and I cannot wait for you to hear it. I’m finally back with a solo episode and we are talking all about non sexual touch. Think cozy cuddles, lingering hugs, playful connection, and intimacy without pressure.

In this episode:

  • Why non sexual touch matters more than we think
  • How intimacy without expectation builds real connection
  • What the bristle effect is and why it shows up
  • How pressure to perform can block physical closeness
  • Some easy ways to talk to your partner about this
  • A peek at the downloadable resource with different types of intimacy date ideas
  • A reminder that this is about connection not perfection

Thank you so much for listening!  Don't forget to share on your social media and tag me if you loved this episode! And tag me if you try any of these Intimacy dates, I'd love to see what you do!
